A love guru has revealed what it really means when a man admits that he isn't looking for a relationship - and what you should do when you hear him utter those words.
Niko Emanuilidis, 30, is a relationship expert who frequently shares romance tips on his TikTok account, where he boasts more than 277,200 followers.
Recently, the New York-based dating coach took to the video-sharing platform to warn viewers about the 'rollercoaster' they are about to ride if they continue pursuing a man who said he isn't ready for a relationship.
In a now viral video, which has so far amassed over 59,500 views, he confessed that a suitor that considers you worthy of a potential relationship would 'never' say he isn't ready - adding that he just doesn't want to commit to you.

Niko captioned the clip: 'If someone says something, believe it!'
At the beginning of the video, the expert introduced the scenario: 'He says he isn't looking for a relationship, but he continues to talk to you every day and take you out. What does that mean?'
He told viewers to 'believe' whatever people are telling them.
Niko noted that if he makes it clear from the start that he isn't looking for a relationship, then that's your 'answer.'
'You continuing to talk to him, to wanting to see him, to allow him to continue dating you, he's taking that as your answer as that being that's fine,' he added.
The 30-year-old guru explained that the man in question will keep dating or talking to you because he thinks that you signed on that 'dotted line.'
He insinuated that by continuing to see you without the commitment, he is able to get his cake and eat it too.
'At the end of the day, he's never going to commit. I'm going to be really honest with you, if a guy met you and he saw the potential of a relationship, even if he wasn't looking for one, he would never say those words to you,' he admitted.
